Chariot for Women is a new ride sharing service for women only

A premium ride sharing service that puts safety at the forefront and targets women sounds like a viable business. This doesn't. Not only are they refusing service to men but likely the bigger problem is they are refusing to employee (or contract) them. I'm sure the lawyers are already circling for the inevitable discrimination lawsuits.

Yeah, I can't see this succeeding anymore than a hypothetical "Uber for white people who are afraid of black drivers".

I am sure an Uber for white people would be quite a success despite being morally offensive. Thankfully people fought (and still fight) to stop this sort of crude discrimination and any such business will soon be sued out of existence.

I am interested to know what sort of thinking went through the investors heads when they were pitched Chariot.
